NEW MEDIA IN THE CONSTRUCTION OF PRINTING MEDIA JOURNALIST

The presence of new media as a manifestation of advances in science and technology has changed the mass communication model that is generally carried out by mass media from one to many becomes many to many, where anyone can now become a maker of information and through new media disseminate it. This condition then obscures the function of the press institution as well as raises the question of whether the mass media have been marginalized. However, the presence of this new media simultaneously helps media institutions in expanding their reach. This study intends to find out how print media journalists as conventional media interpret and experience new media in their daily lives as journalists are faced with the presence of new media. Through the phenomenological study method and Alfred Schutzs phenomenological theory, the results of this research are that journalists interpret new media as a source of initial information, challenges that spur work, complementary partners and information and entertainment media. While the experiences of journalists include being required to work quickly and produce in-depth reports, seek information through social media without leaving the reporting agenda and use social media to disseminate news, educate and participate collectively.
